Raw: The Rock might be live... via satellite (Will Cena point out his cue cards?), so will the focus shift to building the least important world title matches in Wrestlemania history? Will Teddy Long challenge Johnny Ace to the least anticipated Wrestlemania match since last year? Or will WWE find ways to splice together footage of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Misawa, Kobashi, and Randy Savage talking about how great Undertaker and Triple H are for an hour?

TNA: ... will probably embarrass themselves... some more.

Smackdown: Tune in for the Monday Night Raw Recap.

Dude, that was pointless cynicism. WWE's done a good job with both World champs.

TNA is just RAW circa 2003 (Roode = Triple H)

Smackdown has Daniel Bryan. And if anybody thinks D-Bry has been bad, first of all LOL, second of all, this:

When have the World Titles ever been less important than going into this Wrestlemania? The answer is never. It is what it is. The big matches for this Wrestlemania are Rock-Cena and Trips-Taker. I can't remember a situation where the World Titles have been more insignificant going into Wrestlemania (well, the Raw title). Punk-Jericho feels like cab fare. I can almost feel Vince's condescending attitude towards the match and us. Insignficant matches can still be good, assuming they get enough time.

I can't believe The_Dude is complaining that a card looks too good. They've been building up the world titles fine, especially the WWE title match.

Oh god, I love Teddy and Big Johnny segments. They are so chaotic and fun and NEW US CHAMP!!!!!!

Swagger was a useless champion and Marella has been on a roll lately, good move. Will probably lose it on Smackdown, anyway.

I hope not. Maybe they'll try and rush in a US Title Match at Mania. Or, put it down to a dark match lol

The Rock hasn't come in strong during this rivalry, and pretty much all the promotion for him has made him look... horrible.

His videos that were showing at the PPVs alongside the Cena videos made him seem like he thinks he's better than everybody, and in this rivalry, Cena's definitely been booked as the likable relatable guy, whereas Rock is... just there.

How? The IWC made up some bulls*** about Rock's notes being a work. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

What's the excuse now? Rock said nothing. Again. Called Cena a b****? Good one.

I've never seen Rock like this. He's not playing The Rock anymore, cause Rocky is cool and suave. Dwayne seems pissed off.

I'm sorry, I just can't see how after all the time he spent in the WWE and as an actor, that he needs to write his promo notes on his wrist. And for almost the past year Cena was only b****ing about how The Rock left.

"So yeah Rock, we need you to pander to the crowd and say absolutely nothing for about 20 minutes. Yeah, we want you to look bad. Also, just resort to childish insults and use cheap pops."

If that's what people want to believe to have Rocky looking so bad, then by all means believe it.

I, for one, welcome back the Doctor of Thuganomics, John Cena.

Well, I like that The Rock is acting like a wrestler. Catchphrases, Gimmicks and Entertaining the crowd are what wrestlers are supposed to do. He's not turning into some baby wah wah who wants to consistantly b**** about the fact people decide to move on in life. Cena talks like a normal guy (For the most part) and it almost comes off that he isn't playing a wrestler, but in fact, is playing himself. So in reality he's failed at acting like a wrestler. The Rock came in and took away his gimmicks for about 1 minute and actually said he was ' 200 and something or other pounds' and he's going to 'rip your throat out'. Some of you clowns still don't think that was even good, even if it was different. I think most of you can't handle the fact that its all a work to make Cena look better because in reality The Rock not only owns Cena from a wrestling perspective but he owns him at promo's and it had to be written for Cena to look good since he will never be better than TheRock without the help of the creative team asking Rock to back down on the owning of Cena. Word life.

On a non Cena-Fail discussion. Anyone suprised that Jericho picked up a clean win against Punk? Also, I've noticed Jericho has finally gotten back in the flow of being fast paced again. I expect greatness in their match at Wrestlemania.

The matches have been built good (well, at least Jericho-Punk. I do not know about Sheamus-Bryan).

However, the titles themselves? Dude is right. They have never have meant less. Especially the Raw belt.

To be fair, the WWE Championship is hard to take seriously when it looks like THAT. I REALLY wish they'd change it's look. They can always revert it back during a John Cena reign.

Also, I think they've done a solid job for the WHC. Yea, it's not the centerpoint of Mania, but they've done well enough that I'm interested to see who will go to Smackdown after Mania as Champ. I mean, they're never going to make the belt of the second rate show into the top attraction at Mania, but it's not too too bad this year.

Anyways, I was at RAW last night, Pretty decent show. Pop of the night definitely goes to Santino. CM Punks the only wrestler who can botch a small package. Crowd seemed a little more pro Cena.

'Nuff Said.

Chicago weather is a myth, it never plays into the Bears performance. Pats get their stats up by 200% in the snow so it's not even fair. Classless, tbh.

wow, John Cena was awesome last night!

i enjoyed Rocky's segments throughout Boston, they had me laughing for sure

good tag match between champs and #1 contenders... Y2J and Punk gve us a glimpse of the greatness that is possible between the 2 at WM

 The Rock pauses for WAYYYY too long and it is annoying... he has too many catchphrases and no one knows which to chant

 Miz went from main event to jobber to Big Show

im guessing Cena knew the ppl he jumped into (his gf/sister is super hot)

"AJ... shut up" - Best thing ever... except maybe for when he was kicking Sheamus' chest "YES!" *kick* "YES!" *kick* "YES!" *kick* Can't wait for Wrestlemania, this match is going to rule.

I marked at "AJ...shut up."

First episode of SmackDown I've watched in a LONG time. Impressed.
